ALSO TODAY: Sajjan in New Brunswick to discuss support for military relocation — Conservative MP takes campaign to defend local jobs to Thunder Bay

With just one day to go until he’s expected — at least at press time — to head to Rideau Hall to rearrange the seats around his cabinet table, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to continue making the rounds in Nova Scotia today after arriving in the province on Monday afternoon.

He’ll start his day by teaming up with Premier Stephen McNeil for a mid-morning reveal at East Pictou Middle School.

As is traditional, the details of exactly what the two leaders intend to announce are left tantalizingly unclear by his official itinerary, but according to the Halifax Chronicle Herald, it will reportedly include $90 million in fresh federal funding for a local highway twinning project, with “shovels … to be in the ground by next summer,” according to the paper’s unnamed, but presumably looped-in source.

After that event wraps up, he’ll head to Antigonish for a private meeting with McNeil, followed by an appearance alongside local MP Sean Fraser at what the organizers are billing as a “fun, family-focused community barbecue” on the grounds of St. Francis Xavier University.

Also out and about on the East Coast circuit this morning: Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan joins New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant at the Gagetown Military Family Resource Centre, where the pair will “announce their commitment to the Seamless Canada initiative,” which, as per the notice, “improves the relocation process for Canadian Armed Forces members and their families.”

Meanwhile, Transport Minister Marc Garneau is in London, where he’ll “discuss issues of mutual interest” during back-to-back meetings with his UK counterpart, Chris Grayling, and International Maritime Union secretary general Kitack Lim, and join “UK-based public and private industry stakeholders” for a roundtable chat on automated and connected vehicles.

Finally, as part of an ongoing tour of Northern Ontario, Conservative MP John Brassard takes his party’s ongoing campaign to Defend Local Jobs from the latest wave of US-imposed tariffs to Sault Ste. Marie, where he’s also planning to survey area residents on the federal government’s proposed new laws on firearms sales and licencing — and specifically, as per the Sudbury Star, the need to “protect the rights of responsible gun owners” — as well as the “Liberal carbon tax.”
